Jared Hills has been haunted by the car crash every night. It was the night everything changed. It was the night Leisel died.
Now, two years later, as Jared reflects on his life, he can't help but wonder at the chain reaction of choices that led him to this: a black nametag and a calling to serve as a missionary of God.
It had been Leisel who had first sparked Jared's interest in the gospel. She and Rob had befriended Jared early on in his senior year of high school. But even as all of Rob's choices seem to be leading him away from the Church, all of Jared's choices were drawing him closer to it--and to Leisel. And on the night of the horrible crash, Jared finally understands how life-changing the consequences of a choice can be.
My Review:
I have always been really fond of this novel. It is a short read, but well worth it. The author really describes the trials that young adults face today such as teen parties, peer pressure, and all the social things along with that. He addresses the deep stuff like anti religion/ethics/cults, issues that people deal with on a daily basis. This is an LDS (mormon) novel and talks about the LDS church throughout the book. This truly is an excellent read though, this was my third time reading it and I absolutely loved it.
Watch Out For: Drinking, partying, crazy driving, anti mormon/ethics/ religions pamphlets, and a car-wreck.
